What are the best ones out there. No limit on budget and I want ones that will look good for years (if possible).

I group patio slabs with driveway pavers.
Best advice - view both which have been in situ for at least five years to check fading and other issues.
And check out how porous slabs/pavers are.

You can pay what you like. The sandstone slabs are very porous and the quality varies. Take a trip to Whitchurch Builders supplies and speak to Len, they have a huge range and are knowledgeable.

My old man does patios/landscaping for a living

He's just done his garden in porcelain and they look stunning to be honest.

'Crazy paving' has massively gone out of fashion for some reason

Porcelain definitely the way to go and way easier to clean/stay looking good too

He goes to different places depends on what stock comes in and sizes required but I think predominately I think he uses Cardiff Slate and Stone

If you want a quote give him a ring but he may be fully booked up 07557 737937
